Tied Rubber Bellows

Rubber Bellows

Stourflex rubber bellows are the ideal solution for absorbing noise and vibration from pumps, chillers and other reciprocating equipment. Proven in service for over 30 years the product range is available in variety of elastomers including the popular EPDM and Nitrile. Comprehensive stocks are held for all installation lengths and flange drillings. All products are supported by technical data sheets and installation instructions.

Expansion Joints

Stourflex Expansion Joints are designed to eliminate the problems associated with thermal expansion and provide a cost effective solution when expansion cannot be accommodated by using the natural inherent flexibility of the pipe. Stourflex expansion bellows are manufacture in accordance with the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA) and are available in both standard stock production or bespoke designs

Pipe Anchors And Guides

Stourflex pipework anchors & guides are designed to accommodate the forces and provide the restraints to control the movements generated by thermal expansion. They are designed to complement Stourflex expansion joints ensuring the prefect engineered design. With our vast knowledge of expansion Joints and the loads they impose on pipework system we are able to provide a solution that best suits your installation and budget.

Hoses & Pump Connectors

Air & Dirt Separators

The Stourflex range of Microbubble Air & Dirt Separators is designed to meet the demands of all building services heating and chilled water applications. The range includes the traditional vertically mounted horizontal unit , a unique horizontal high flow (Low Pressure Drop) Stainless Steel unit and Pressure Step Degasser for low pressure chilled water applications

Chemical Dosing Pots

Stourflex Dosing Pots are designed to provide a controlled and cost effective method of chemical dosing to heating and chilled water systems. Stourflex dosing pots are of a mild steel welded construction and are supplied in a kit of parts to enable the unit to be assembled to best suit site conditions. The unit is supplied complete with tundish, vessel, air vent, inlet, outlet and drain valves and check valves for safety. The range comprises of 3.5, 6, 11, 15, 20 and 25 litre units and are available ex-stock.

Inertia Bases & AV Equipment

Stourflex Inertia Bases are designed to reduce vibration from pumps and other reciprocating equipment. Inertia bases also reduce motion during start-up and shut-down, lower the centre of gravity and minimise the effect of unequal load distribution. Inertia base frames are specifically engineered to receive poured concrete and designed to suit all leading brands of pump including Grundfos, Wilo & Xylem.

Caesar II Services

Stourflex offer computer aided design using CAESAR II® Pipe Stress Analysis. The benefits of using computer aided design software enable our engineers to model and evaluate the behaviour of the pipework system. Therefore whether you are designing a new pipework system or assessing an existing one we can produce technical reports showing the forces which are generated by and need to be contained when installing expansion joints. This can significantly assist you in designing your pipework system

Type JP10 Tied Rubber Bellows. Oil Service (Yellow).

Now Available With Precision Fit Flexible Lagging Jackets To Suit JP10.

Specification:

Tied rubber bellows consisting of nitrile liner and neoprene cover, with nylon reinforcement body and steel reinforced collar. Fitted with zinc plated carbon steel oval flanges complete with fully threaded tie bars and rubber top hat washers, drilled to BS. 4504 NP16.

Application:

Stourflex tied rubber bellows are designed to accommodate misalignment and lateral movement. They are also used to reduce noise and vibration from pumps and reciprocating machinery. The tie bar assembly will prevent pressure thrust and stress being transmitted pumps and associated pipework. They are suitable for fuel oil, diesel and petroleum applications. Maximum working temperature 60ºC. Maximum working pressure 16 Bar. Sizes 32mm – 300mm. Maximum working pressure 6 Bar. Sizes 350mm – 400mm. Stourflex rubber bellows should not be used at both their maximum working temperature and pressure respectively. Maximum test pressure = 1.5 x working pressure or 1.5 x flange rating, whichever the lower.

Lagging:

Stourflex are now able to offer a tailor made flexible lagging jacket to help reduce heat losses on LTHW systems and heat gains & condensation on CHW systems. Please ask for more information.
